About "morphology and physiology of viruses"
слайд 1 viruses are small obligate intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a rna or dna genome surrounded by a protective, virus-coded protein coat. viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. viruses are unable to generate energy. as obligate intracellular parasites, during replication, they fully depend on the complicated biochemical machinery of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. capsid: the symmetric protein shell that encloses the nucleic acid genome. often, empty capsids are by-products of the viral replicative cycle. nucleocapsid: the capsid together with the enclosed nucleic acid. structural units: the basic protein building blocks of the capsid. capsomeres: morpholo...
